In-Person Dharma Retreats & Training
In-Person Training
Roll up your sleeves and jump in.
While we love online learning, it can’t compare to in-person dharma teachings. Experiential learning, especially for longer periods, is where wisdom can deepen and develop, taking you beyond surface level knowledge.
We invite you to meet with us, come to one of our public classes, join one of our meditation retreats or sign up to be a Karma Yogi (practicing service as a spiritual path) in the three month intensive program at Clear Sky Meditation Centre.
Vipassana
Study sensation, the breath, body, and mind. Join Catherine Pawasarat Sensei in an eight-day Vipassana meditation retreat, a practice suitable whether you are a newbie or seasoned meditator, or have always wanted to do a longer retreat. Gift yourself the in-person guidance of an accomplished meditation teacher and a balanced meditative approach using the foundations of mindfulness from the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta. In-person, with an online option.

Tantra Retreat with Sensei
Year-end Sangha / Foundations Retreat
We like reminding each other that the Buddha told his beloved discipline Ananda that our spiritual friends on the path, or “kalyana mitta,” are not just a portion of the path—but the whole path. We enjoy this community time with our sangha each year, and invite those who are already students to join Sensei and other members of our community for a retreat to focus on foundational meditation practice together. If we don’t know you yet—we’d love to have you at another offering first, and to have you join us one day for our sangha retreat.
